A well-established and widely accepted indicator for the quality of
scientific publications is the number of references to other
publications in the field. This number describes to which extent the
author has included related concepts in his work. A method like this,
which has already proved itself in reality, could be used in an online
environment such as the e-portfolio as well.
It is possible that the quality of texts published in the internet is
increasingly measured by its degree of relation to other content. In
other words: In a hypertext environment, texts are considered to be of
high quality if they show few redundancies to other content in the
informationpool but a high degree of context relation (linkage,
interconnection).
In order to relate to other concepts, an informationpool containing
concepts that have been agreed upon is needed. These concepts need to
be available in a form suitable for hypertext. If it is easy to link an
existing concept to others, students will handle tasks more
efficiently.
